SAN ANTONIO - The most Googled reality TV star of 2013 now is working at an Austin strip club.

Farrah Abraham, who rose to celebrity status on MTV's "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom," began stripping at the Palazio Men's Club in the state's capital city in July, according to E! News.

The 23-year-old raised in Iowa, who has released an album, a memoir and two pornography films in recent years, told E! News the gig was strictly for "research" for future roles.

"I've been trying out all the roles that make up a gentleman's club, including cocktailing and dancing," Abraham told E! News. "It's job shadowing that I hope pays off. In the same way Jennifer Aniston researched her role as a stripper, that's what I'm doing. It's how I get the information to write my books and do my movies. Unfortunately, I'm not free to talk about what those future projects may be... And while I'm doing it, I'm getting paid. I'm getting paid to play a role and get informed."

"She was definitely not shy and looked like she knew what she was doing," an unnamed source told E! News. "She wasn't awkward at all and was actually quite good."

Abraham was the most searched reality TV star on Google during 2013, according to the Huffington Post.

A phone call to the strip club was not immediately returned.

The Palazio describes itself as having "a focus on excitement & elegance" and "redefining the modern strip club!"

The strip joint is rated 4 out of 5 stars on Yelp, based on 30 reviews.
